Honing Vlog #25, Revisiting the Chosera 3k

[@UnknownStone-b7w]

I finally had a chance to order that book on Japanese sword polishing that you had mentioned several years ago in an older video. I can’t wait until it gets here. Great video !

[@KeithVJohnson1]

@@UnknownStone-b7w Thank you, happy honing.

[@BredoLab]

Great video, and nice stones, especially the Nakayama stone at the end of the video. It's nice to see you in the honing business again.

[@KeithVJohnson1]

Ty - I never left the 'honing business'. lol. I have put out a new video once a month, maybe 2x a month for years now.

[@joecalton1449]

you always have the coolest stones. thanks for sharing them :}

[@KeithVJohnson1]

You're welcome and thank you for following, watching, and commenting!

Never knew the rockstars came in those metal cases. I'm surprised shapton moved away from including a base. The new microphone sounds much better, less reverb.

[@KeithVJohnson1]

Only the Pro Stones came with a case, still do. The Glass Stones only came in cardboard but you could buy a set with a rubber holder that reminds me of the insert in these metal cases.

Hi Keith great vid that chorsara 3 k looks like a nice quick cutter since your vid honing in the 1800 have you used your washita stone for setting a bevel cheers

[@KeithVJohnson1]

Hey Johnny, I sold my Washta a while ago. I don't keep a lot of stuff around for too long usually..

[@stan6698]

Do you use a rolling stroke for all of your razors? If seems like you do, but it's hard to tell on videos unless you exaggerate it.

[@KeithVJohnson1]

Depends on the blade. Most of my razors have not been in videos. A lot of practice/test/beater razors have smiling edges so they can be candidates for rolling strokes.

[@beibit49]

Is it possible to purchase Japanese natural stones from you?

[@KeithVJohnson1]

I sell stones on Etsy, link is in the description.

[@rickwhitson2804]

Remember I'm a hunting knife and pocket knife guy. I have Norton's and Arkansas stone's. I gotta try some of those. Honestly which ones do you recommend that I get and try?

[@KeithVJohnson1]

HI, thank you for watching. This channel pretty much caters to straight razor enthusiasts, almost exclusively. I don't usually make recommendations; everyone is different, everyone has different tastes, likes, needs, etc. There's no way to cover it all.

[@rickwhitson2804]

@@KeithVJohnson1 that's ok. I thought I might get a little insight to some new or different type of stone. I didn't mean to waste your time so I'll happily move along. LOL

[@paulspeller968]

[@scottstewart6353]

Did you seal the chosera 3k with something like a spray polyurethane?

Sir, when I try to send a message through your website, it redirects me to a phishing site that appears to be involved in fraudulent activities. Just wanted to inform you for your awareness.

[@KeithVJohnson1]

Hi, thank you for contacting me. The redirect notice you are seeing is because my set up routes messages through karelia.com. I have it set up like this for security reasons. That is my web host, not a Phishing site. The message from your browser is probably related to an outdated certificate of some type, which is something I do not have access to. I am probably going to take the contact page down when I have the time.
